The only reason to watch this movie is if you have a particular attraction to Justin Hartley, who is somewhat of a heartthrob and he is put on generous display. Or I suppose if you just want to want to watch some brainless fluff. Otherwise, it is dull, cheesy and predictable and full of common tropes. It's not a comedy and plays more to the sappy and sentimental side, but does so without a spark. It's just loaded with the type of plot devices you'd expect and then tied together in a clumsy manner with lazy transitions. Literally nothing stands out aside from the hunky Justin Hartley. The whole premise of a man rediscovering his past and discovering love and reconciliation are basically just contrived in order to have a script at all. And the romantic angle is hard to swallow in the context of what is basically a cheating couple.
